I don't think I will ever part with this bike. Picked it up at a yard sale for $10. The shoddy green, gold, and black paint job didn't bother me. In fact I rode it like that for a year or two. Last spring I decided it was time to give her a makeover. I researched like crazy to identify its roots because I honestly didn't know too much about the bike, or the year. The original seat being in such good condition made this possible. This was the first time I had taken on a project like this... taking the entire bike apart, sanding, painting, and putting it back together. I learned A LOT, found a new love for vintage bikes, and discovered a world of people that felt the same way.
